Drake posted a new selfie of himself standing in his shower after his $100 million mansion flooded with dirty brown water.

Fans of American rapper Kendrick Lamar taunted Drake when he shared video on his IG Story that showed dirty water flooding his home.

Drake tried to sweep the water out with a broom while an associate held glass doors closed.

“This better be espresso martini,” Drake jokingly captioned the video.

Drake didn’t indicate the date of the flood, but his hometown of Toronto experienced severe storms on Tuesday. The storms dumped 4 inches of rain on Toronto.

Drake’s new selfie, posted today, shows him standing in his squeaky clean Italian marble shower.

Drake also owns a mansion in Beverly Hills, and a modest secret hideaway in Atlanta. He recently paid $7 million for an estate in Hidden Hills, California.

in unrelated news, Drake fan Steph Curry told Olympic teammate LeBron James he’s tired of Kendrick Lamar’s song, “Not Like Us.”

As the song played in the arena, Steph said, “Damn with this song. It’s not the only song in America.”

LeBron responded, “I love it.”

Outrage: Democrats React to ‘Wildly Disrespectful’ Magazine Cover

The White House has denied a report that President Joe Biden is stepping down amid health issues.

Biden, 81, tested positive for Covid-19 in Las Vegas on Wednesday. His doctor said Biden experienced mild upper respiratory symptoms. He seemed weak and had difficulty walking up the short steps on Air Force One.

Biden is now resting at his home in Delaware, where he continues his duties as president.

A senior Democratic adviser tells CNN that Biden is considering stepping down, and that he might announce his decision on Friday, July 19.

Meanwhile, New York magazine’s recent issue has sparked outrage among Biden’s supporters.

The cover depicts former President Donald Trump and President Biden on the cover in their underwear.

“Catch up on our new Health Issue, featuring medical breakthroughs and scandals, plus one political convulsion: the president’s seeming deterioration,” reads the caption on Instagram.

Trump, 78, was shot in the right ear during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

“I got lucky,” Trump said at a private event during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“This has been our best campaign, and then I got shot! How does that happen? But I got lucky. God was with me, I tell you,” Trump added.

He continued:

“That’s what they call a close call… In many ways it changes your attitude, your viewpoint on life. And I think honestly, I think you appreciate God even more, I really do, because something happened. Not that it was pleasant. It wasn’t like it was a complete miss.”

Democrats are outraged over the “disrespectful” magazine cover.

One person wrote: “What a disgusting decision to make this a cover. We can now point to the media’s contribution of making the US a joke to the world.”

A second person wrote: “This is wildly disrespectful, I can only assume was done with AI and makes me worried for the precedent set here. Did both parties give consent?”

Bronny James delivered his best performance as the Lakers won their first game in the NBA Summer League.

The 19-year-old scored 12 points to help the Lakers defeat the Atlanta Hawks G League team 87-86 on Wednesday in Las Vegas.

Bronny also hit his first 3-pointer in the Summer League on Wednesday. He is now 2-for-18 from three point range.

The Lakers are now 1-4 in the Summer League.

Afterwards, Bronny said he was laser focused on his game. “I just tried to forget about all the shots I missed, forget about all the games we lost. Just come out and play my game and try to do my best everytime we come out on the court. That’s what I did tonight and it ended up well.”

The Lakers selected LeBron James’ eldest son with the 55th pick in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

Bryan Abasolo provided text messages that prove his ex-wife Rachel Lindsay was not shocked when he filed for divorce.

In new court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the chiropractor claims the former “Bachelorette” lead, 39, wasn’t “surprised or shocked” when he filed for divorce.

Bryan, 44, provided the text messages in his latest response to her court filing.

MEGA/WENN

In her response, Rachel claimed that Bryan informed her of his decision to file for divorce “via text message” in late June. She alleged that he sent her a message that “simply read, ‘Hey … I just wanted to let you know that I officially filed.'” The text was sent 30 minutes after he left their home.

Now, Bryan claims that Rachel “fails to disclose” that he sent her a text message before filing for divorce.

MEGA/WENN

In one text message, Bryan complained about Rachel’s “one-sided controlling aspects of our relationship which has brought us to this point.”

“My inability to communicate, as you’ve called it, is to prevent these kinds of reactions. It often feels like you must have what you want without considering any state of mind I’m in.”

He continued, “I’m sorry for not replying to your text but honestly, I don’t really want to be on the receiving end of your wordsmithing anymore. I don’t want to be here any longer than I have to. I want to regain some aspect of my self-respect back.”

MEGA/WENN

A judge recently ordered Rachel to pay Bryan $13,000 a month in temporary alimony recently. Bryan rejected her offer of $10,000 per month.

He told the judge he needed more money to move out of their shared home.

Bryan won Rachel’s heart in season 13 of “The Bachelorette” in 2017. They were married in 2020. They announced their separation earlier this year.

Rachel, an attorney in Dallas, was the first Black woman to be cast as lead on the show.

WNBA star A’ja Wilson called out her Las Vegas Aces teammates for taking pictures with singer Usher after losing to the Chicago Sky.

Las Vegas lost 93-85 to the Sky on their home court on Tuesday. After the game, A’ja Wilson was upset when she saw her teammates taking pictures with the R&B crooner.

A’ja was caught on cell phone video saying, “They ain’t did sh*t all day, but they wanna take a motherfu*king picture with Usher.”

A’ja Wilson had 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 steals in the game. But it wasn’t enough to preserve her team’s 4-game winning streak.

Angel Reese had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 1 turnover for the winning team.

“I think we kind of needed this to kind of wake us up a little bit to tell us we have a lot more work we to do,” A’ja Wilson said. “Because sometimes, when you’re winning games and streaking out a little bit, things get lost in the sauce. And so when you have games like this… it’s kind of helpful to get punched in the mouth, like today.”

Las Vegas was without their rookie star Kate Martin, who left the game with an ankle injury in the first quarter.
